December 07 20092009-12-07Outdoor temple-side photo under a corrugated roof at a barricaded queue. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes, with a red tilak on his forehead, raises his right hand in blessing while holding papers in his left hand. Devotees in white shirts and striped shirts press along metal railings toward him. In the background a decorated deity shrine with red and gold drapes and a blue-garbed murti is visible, with festoons and banners framing the entrance.2009-12-05December 03 20092009-12-03November 14 20102010-11-14 +1 copiesA long-haired man in an orange saffron garment stands at a barrier, extending his right hand toward a crowd of devotees who hold out small white papers. Behind him, a shrine area with a deity murti in red and gold is visible under a tented canopy, with orange and red drapes. A row of men in white and light-coloured clothes stands near him. The page indicates he is Swamiji, but the figure's appearance shows only a long swept-back hair and orange saffron clothing, a probable match with the page's claim, so the label is appearance-based. Devotees on the left wear shirts and glasses. The scene looks like darshan with papers given to devotees.2009-12-05A photograph of a man with swept-back dark hair, white tripundra ash marks and a red bindi, wearing an orange sleeveless robe and a long dark rudraksha mala. He smiles broadly while placing his hand on the head of a younger man in a white shirt who bows his head. Around them several men in white and checked shirts stand with hands folded in namaskar, some wearing white ash marks. The setting is a covered outdoor area with a dark ceiling and an orange-hued temple hall behind.2010-09-20December 05 20092009-12-05December 08 20092009-12-08A photograph of a darshan line under a metal-framed tent with orange and white decorations. A long-haired figure in an orange robe leans forward at a round table covered with orange cloth, handing a small object to a man in a pink shirt who holds out a white slip. Another orange-robed person stands beside the table. On the left, an older man in a striped white shirt watches with his hands clasped, and devotees line the railing behind. Pennants with floral motifs hang from the tent poles, and a decorated shrine is visible in the background. The figure in the robe appears to be an appearance-based Swamiji (probable), with long hair and saffron clothing, though this is uncertain.2009-12-05A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in an indoor hall with a suspended ceiling and recessed lights. A man in an orange turban and orange shawl, with a red bindi, gold necklaces and a gold bangle, raises his right hand in a blessing gesture toward a row of people. In front, a light-haired young man in white kurta and a red thread bracelet presses his palms together with bowed head, and other devotees in white and pastel shirts stand with hands folded in anjali. A bald man in white dhoti on the right is partly visible. The swami-like figure in the centre fits the orange turban and gold ornament cues, so this is a person appearance, though the photo is not certain. Stage lighting and a yellow backdrop glow at the right edge.2011-09-06September 21 20102010-09-21September 21 20102010-09-21
